This photo taken on July 2018 and released by Xu Xiaoli on Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018, shows Lu Guang in New York. The award-winning Chinese photographer was taken away by state security agents more than three weeks ago during a trip to the country's far west, according to Xu.

Lu Guang, a photographer who won a 2004 World Press Photo Award for exposing "AIDS villages" in Henan province, China, has vanished in the country, NBC News reported.

Lu, who has a U.S. green card, was meeting with other photographers in the capital of China's remote Xinjiang province when he was last heard from on Nov. 3, according to his wife, Xu Xiaoli.

"The authorities haven't informed me of his whereabouts," she said in a phone interview from New York, adding that she was told by the wife of the photographer who invited Lu that state security took both into custody.

They outnumber us, by about three or four to one.  They have higher IQs than we do have . Plus unlike the USA, they seem to not be committing national suicide.
